Eight students from the college received 13 of the 20 awards made to students throughout the State.

Among those to receive awards were: Courtney Humphrey from York who received a Certificate of Excellence; last year's college dux David Lane from Wongan Hills who received three accolades including a VET exhibition, Certificate of Distinction in automotives and a Certificate of Excellence; and Madison Davey, also from Wongan Hills, who received a VET exhibition and certificate of Distinction in rural production.

Brendan Boyd from Corrigin, who was dux in Vocational Education and Training (VET) at the college in 2011, received a Certificate of Distinction in construction and a Certificate of Excellence.

Claire Stevens from Kellerberrin received a Certificate of Distinction in rural production and a Certificate of Excellence while Amy Corsini from Westonia received a Certificate of Excellence.

In addition to achieving the highest number of awards in the subjects offered at the five campuses of the WA College of Agriculture, Cunderdin was ranked equal top with seven other schools in Vocational Education and Training and, with 61 students, had the most graduates.

All the Cunderdin students completed VET qualifications at Certificate II level or higher.

College principal Bernard Beatty was very pleased with the students' achievements and paid tribute to teachers at the college who he said had encouraged the students to strive for academic excellence.

"The staff is committed to helping the students gain the best outcomes possible,” he said.

"In addition to their work in the classroom, workshop and on the farm, students received help during compulsory homework sessions in the evening.

"This ensures they get additional help when they need it.”

In addition to the individual awards, the college won the award for excellence at the 2011 Western Australian Training awards, its third win in the category since 2006.

In 2009, Andrew Reynolds from York was awarded the highest possible Curriculum Council award, the Beazley Medal (VET), for his achievements as a student at Cunderdin.
